Base Residual Auction (BRA)
PJM's Independent Market Monitor filed a complaint asking FERC to reject all energy efficiency offers into the RTO's capacity market, alleging none of them meet the Base Residual Auction participation requirements.
FERC partially reversed a 2023 order allowing PJM to modify a parameter for the 2024/25 Base Residual Auction to avoid a substantial increase in capacity prices in the DPL South transmission zone.
Stakeholders filed comments debating PJM’s request that FERC direct it to recalculate the results of the 2024/25 Base Residual Auction and rerun the third Incremental Auction.
PJM updated stakeholders on how it will proceed in the wake of a 3rd Circuit ruling vacating a FERC order allowing the RTO to revise a parameter after bids had been received for the 2024/25 Base Residual Auction.
The 3rd Circuit vacated FERC’s order allowing PJM to revise a capacity market parameter for the DPL South zone after the 2024/25 auction had been conducted but prior to the publication of its results, ruling that it constituted retroactive ratemaking.
FERC accepted PJM’s request to delay the 2025/26 Base Residual Auction from June 12 to July 17 to give stakeholders time to understand new capacity auction rules.
PJM submitted a waiver request asking FERC to delay the 2025/26 Base Residual Auction by 35 days, which would bump the commencement to July 17.
Generators that plan to come online by the start of the 2025/26 delivery year will have until Dec. 12 to notify PJM of their intent to participate in the Base Residual Auction for that year.
PJM members recommended various avenues for the RTO's Board of Managers to consider as it weighs a possible FERC filing incorporating components of proposals made during the critical issue fast path process.
PJM showed updated risk analysis figures and stakeholders made new proposals during the July 17 Critical Issue Fast Path process meeting.
